=ipdiscover bug=
+
=known bugs=
We need to confirm that ipdiscover works when the smeserver is the forced client.
+
There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!
 +
==ipdiscover bug==
 +
===ipdiscover on SME===
 +
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.
   −
I Tried the following:
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
ipdiscover eth0 10
  −
{{Note box|''Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]''}}
     −
Here's what I got on my server:
+
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!
<IPDISCOVER>
+
===ipdiscover-util.pl===
<H><I>192.168.0.100</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>
+
This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.
<H><I>192.168.0.253</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>

<H><I>192.168.0.254</I><M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00254.mydomain.com</N></H>

</IPDISCOVER>
  −
Sounds like it's working for me... But IpDiscover discovers nothing when launched by SME OCS' Agent. There must be a problem here!
     −
Windows Agent don't have this problem...
+
First thing to do is to change the password in this file...
 +
...
 +
my $dbhost = 'localhost';
 +
my $dbuser = 'ocs';
 +
my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; <==
 +
my $db = 'ocsweb';
 +
my $dbp = '3306';
 +
The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.
 +
 
 +
Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

==deletion bug==
  −
When you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later

==www/ocs/install.php bugs==
----
+
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.
The only way I was able to reproduce an error on package deletion is when I refreshed the page (as files were already removed, I got an error)
     −
Could you be more clear on this bug? How did it happened?
+
I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php
   −
Cool34000
+
I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!
----
     −
add a package, deploy > activate > click on the red X
+
So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!
ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194511477
     −
I have documented that you can ignore the error, maybe i should say if you see the error you can ignore?
+
Help needed!

==Upload size limit==
+
=wiki page=
Must document that on the Wiki:
  −
Max allowed packet value is locked at 10M by default on SME.
     −
No need to create a custom template: DB values already exist for this! They are hidden in php.ini templates ''40DataHandling'' and ''60FileUploads''
     −
What is the impact of setting large values on the server?
      +
==5.3.2 Deployment menu==
   −
php Values can be changed with the following:
+
there must be a lot of ways this could be used,
config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 50M PostMaxSize 50M
+
why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out
expand-template /etc/php.ini
  −
signal-event ocsglpi-update
     −
I will add php.ini to the list of templates2expand
+
this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]]
   −
Let's delete the mysql custom-template in the RPM and document how to change both values to allow uploading larger files!
+
this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat
    +
others can work on this cool34000 has done enough

I think you should restrict the affect to just the ocs directory
  −
 
  −
config setprop ocs MaxUpload 50M
  −
php_admin_value post_max_size $ocs{'MaxUpload'}
  −
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize $ocs{'MaxUpload'}
  −
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  −
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith condrestart
  −
 
  −
$ocs{'MaxUpload'} default = 10M
  −
 
  −
yes delete /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/my.cnf/005mysqld

you have to set a db value anyway so you may as well add it to the ocs fragment
  −

Yes, I tried to limit changes to ocs in the template, but it didn't worked for me.
+
Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL.
   −
Maybe I was missing this line:
+
I don't like to install a service when it's not needed, so I use the standalone executable. I also don't use OCS deployment feature (I'm using GPOs for that)
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith condrestart
     −
Testing this now, of course it would be better to limit these values only for ocs!
+
It is so fast to use against the need of installing the Agent: put OcsLogon.exe in a share folder and simply launch it with a one command line batch script each time a session is opened.
 +
@echo off
 +
\\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag
 +
That's all!
   −
=> Still doesn't work... Values are expanded but can't upload file >10M... Looks like this value must be global.
+
Of course, more can be done...
   −
Here's the non working template:
+
*Install the Agent silently in a script
#--------------------------------------------------------------
+
*Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
# OCS Inventory Next Generation
+
*Create your own ''ocsagent.exe''
#--------------------------------------------------------------
+
People need to read the guide! It's well documented.
Alias /download /opt/inventory/ocs/download

Alias /ocs      /opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports

+{
  −
+    if (exists $ocs{'URL'})
  −

  −

</Directory>
     −

If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!

==glpi==
Future RPM will allow to add aliases using 'URL' value to ocs and glpi
  −

=rpm changes=
  −
 
  −
for your consideration
  −
 
  −
split help file out into separate rpm to save redownloading
  −
use rm -f root/path/to/help in the spec file
  −
no need to touch the ocs.tar.qz
  −
 
  −
less chat in the install output, just say look at the wiki page, + renamed wiki page
     −
  don't use signal-event my-own-event
+
someone who uses this may like to add some more information on how to use it, some link to more docs at least
charlie doesn't want new events created, so we obey, (mostly)
  −
just give all the commands, or use an existing one, we could use domain-modify
